Things to Say to a Person that is Hurting
Hannah Dmyterko

I adore you

I cherish who you are, even in your suffering. You inspire me in so many ways, and just your presence is enough for me. God knew what He was doing when He created you. I admire you.

I’m invested in you

I’m willing to give whatever you need. Whether it be time, money, or just listening ears, I’m all in. I will not leave you stranded.

I hurt for you

My heart breaks for you. Because of your value and worth to me, I feel the weight of your pains on my shoulders.

I will keep your secrets safe

The deepest and darkest places of your heart are valuable to me. I will never uncover them. I want you to confide in me, knowing my loyalty to you.

You are strong

In fact, you’re the strongest person I know. You hold your own, and you can do this. It’s okay that you are allowing the sting of pain to touch you. Just know a sting isn’t going to break you. You’re so much stronger than that.

A place in my heart is yours

You mean so much to me, and I will forever be in your corner.

I’ll love you through it

I won’t let you go. Nothing you do can make me love you less.

You will never walk alone

I promise the loneliness that you feel is a lie. I will hold you when you cannot hold yourself. Hold my hand; you’ll see how firm my grasp is.

Your life is valuable

I hope you know your beauty and worth. I hope that in this darkness, you see all your light. Your life is so precious.

I support you

I’m your biggest fan. I will not fear giving you my opinion, but even more so, I will not fear showing faithfulness to you.

I’m praying for you

I know that we are not capable of controlling anything, so I’m pleading that the One who is, heals your heart and restores your soul. He has so much love and care for you. I am praying you find comfort in Him.

I thank God for you

I praise Him for giving me you. Your life brings me joy. In your affliction, I still praise Him for a person as original as you. You are such a blessing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
